M.I.A.

A confrontational collision of industrial noise, internet paranoia, and global bass. It sounds like a digital breakdown in a high-security server room.

It's like your laptop is having a panic attack and it sounds incredible.

A tense, paranoid collision of digital aggression and cold technological isolation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition into the Suicide-sampling punk-noise of Born Free.
The rhythmic assault of power tools and industrial drills on Steppin Up.
The disorienting, chopped-up vocal loops that open the sprawling Teqkilla.
